Required Resource Pack

Attrition is a simple, vanillalike data pack that’s designed for players who want something harder than regular survival, but not quite as harsh as hardcore mode. Here’s how it works:
Q: Does this data pack have life steal?
For expanded features like lifesteal and multiplayer revive, you'll need to add Attrition's companion pack, Contrition!
Q: Where are the settings for this data pack?
Attrition's options menu is available via the /function mp.attr:display_options command. Basically every part of the data pack can be customized here, so be sure to explore this menu!
Q: What does the resource pack look like? Is it required?
The HeartFade resource pack (created by AmyTheMudkip) is a subtle retexture of the player's heads-up display, including the health bar, armor bar, and hunger bar. It is optional, but it does look really good!
Q: Does this data pack work with hardcore?
Unfortunately, no. Attrition will not work correctly in hardcore worlds.
Q: Does this data pack change anything about vanilla Minecraft?
Other than the basic mechanics of gaining and losing max health – no, Attrition does not change anything.
Occasionally, Attrition will play custom sounds and display flavor texts in chat, but these can be toggled off with the commands /trigger mp.attr.toggle_sounds and /trigger mp.attr.toggle_flavor_text.

- You lose one heart of max health each time you die
- You gain one heart of max health each time you eat an enchanted golden apple (max 20 hearts)
- If you die with only one heart of max health left, you lose the game and are put into spectator mode

Have something to say?
I also tried changing the pack.mcmeta myself but it doesnt work
Im working on a new modpack for 1.21.1 (for 1.21.5 are too many mods missing that i want) & we always used gravestone mods in the past. But no one was afraid to die anymore, so i liked the new "penalty".
For the update i like the new mechanic with the health cooldown. Im always trying to make minecraft harder, but not too hard so its a good mix between survival & building stuff. Im also a sucker fpr immersive & ambient stuff. Not sure what i should tell you tbh ^^" i mean everything sounds nice, but its okay if its too much work. someday we will play on 1.21.5 when all the other mods are updating :)
